Spurs keep rolling even when they miss

The Spurs made one of their most dramatic plays of the game midway through the third quarter — and it included a missed shot.

Spurs guard Tony Park went slashing through the lane toward the basket. Parker kicked the ball out to Bruce Bowen in the corner. Bowen fired up a 3-point attempt, which bounced high off the rim. Spurs center Rasho Nesterovic, positioned behind a Sixers defender, tipped the ball to Manu Ginobili near the free-throw line. Ginobili tipped the back under the rim to Parker, who made an easy basket from there.

That’s Parker to Bowen to Nesterovic to Ginobili back to Parker for the bucket.

The play put the Spurs up by 29 points at 69-40 with 7:32 left in the third quarter and capped a 14-6 run to start the second half — leading to a Philadelphia timeout.
